Hi guys. I'm trying to get quake II to run on a Atrend atc-2475 voodoo rush single board. It hangs with the default 3dfxgl file and errors with other 3dfxgl files like the one from the v1 and v2 drivers. Is there a special quake 2 driver for it?

Also, I can't use any other driver but the a-trend one for the card or it will corrupt text and flicker in 3d...

I have 2 alliance versions and both gave display corruption in windows. It seems that some drivers clock the alliance chip too high. You can fix this in the registry by simply clocking the alliance chip a bit slower.

You can find the registry setting here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\Alliance Semiconductor\Driver\HW Acceleration Settings, MCLKFrequency

Setting it from 72 to 60 will most likely fix the problem. This does not clock the 3dfx chip lower, just the 2d chip.

These cards also didn't like fast systems when i tested them, so the same as with voodoo1, if you have problems try a slower system.
